Father and son togetherness La Grande father and son both awarded associate degrees in business administration during commencement at Eastern Saturday By Dick Mason The Observer
Robert Rysdam Sr. received a one-of-a-kind Father's Day weekend thrill Saturday- the opportunity to make a commencement walk with his son, Robert Jr., at EOU's Community Stadium. The Rysdams, who both live in La Grande, strode down commencement row side by side and then each were presented hard-earned associates degrees in business administration. "It was one ofthe most exciting things I've done," said Rysdam Sr., 60. His son shared a similar sentiment. "Itwas touching. It was one of those experiences you don't
ever expect to happen," the younger Rysdam said It is no coincidence that the father and son both received their degrees at the same ceremony. They enrolled at Eastern two years after losing their jobs at Boise Cascade because of its La Grande mill closure. Robert Sr. had worked for Boise Cascade for 35 years and his son for seven years. They enrolled at EOU to get the educational background needed to help them pursue new careers in the business field. The Rysdams attended most of the same classes together, occasionally confusing their professors. Robert Jr., 28, explained that he registered as Robert Rysdam as did his father. This meant that enroll-
ment printouts often listed two students named Robert Rysdam in the same class. 'We sometimes confused the heck out of our teachers," Rysdam Sr. said. "It was funny." Professors often thought the printouts were in error until two people raised their hands when they called the name Robert Rysdam. Rysdam Sr. found the experience more challenging than his son because he had not been in school for about 40 years. He said the support he received from Eastern's faculty and staff went a long way toward getting him up to speed. "I would have been lost without them," said Rysdam Sr., who said Sharon Nelson of the academic and career advising office was among those who helped him enormously. He also said his son helped him in a big way. The two often See Duo I Page SA

Scholar tells fellowEOU graduates to reach out with sense of caring By Dick Mason The Observer
With people watching throughout the world on a webcast, about400 seniors made their commenceSmutz mentwalks at EOU's graduation Saturday. The seniors emerged with words of timeless wisdom from many sources, including classmate Nathan Smutz, the President's Scholar. Smutz, who grew up in La Grande, urged the graduates to reach out to others not out of a sense of duty but with a sense of caring. "Ifl fund charities and feed the poor and even pay the ultimate price for what I believe in, but don't genuinely care for the people I'm serving, I myself, am left empty by it," said Smutz, the son of See Eastern I Page SA
The Oregon Department ofTranspoitation will host a public open house meeting 6:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday at the 0 DOT Region 5 Headquarters in La Grande, located at 3012 Island Ave. The meeting is being held to share information and hear comments regarding ODOT's $43 million I-84 Kamela Interchange Second Street undercrossing project that V~.rill begin being constructed in 2013. The work will extend along the interstate between the Kamela Interchange at Exit 246 and the Second Street undercrossing in La Grande at mile post 260.2.

Persons interested in hearing more about the project are encouraged to attend this public meeting. "The section ofl-84 between Meacham and Ladd Canyon historically experiences premature pavement failure and early truck chain rut damage," said OOOT Project Leader Ken Patterson regarding the resurfacing phase of the project. '~ a result of this, the asphalt pavement surface in the slow lane along this section lasts approximately eight years instead ofthe 15 years norn1ally predicted. See Freeway I Page 2A
Ore. woman trapped under dresser for nearly 4 days PORTLAND (AP)- Authorities say an Oregon woman was trapped for nearly four days after a dresser fell on top of her. KGW-TV reports that neighbors asked Washington County sheriffs deputies to check on Cedar Mill resident Virginia Cartier on Friday, after they realized they hadn't seen her in a while. Deputies forced their way into the 67-year-old's home and found her pinned underneath the dresser. Cartier had been trying to move the dresser. Deputies say the woman was in and out of consciousness after not having any food or water for days. She had i~juries to both legs and was treated at a hospital. Cartier has since been released and is recovering at the home of a friend.

FREEWAY Continued from Page IA By replacing the asphalt with concrete, we should be able to get 35 years or more of useful life of the road surface." ODOT is utilizing several funding sources to complete the project, including Jobs and TranspOitation Act funds passed by the 2009 Oregon I.Rgislature, Federal Interstate Maintenance funds, plus transportation safety and operations money. The westbound b:uck climbing Jane wi11 be added between mile posts 246 and 248 to provide more room for vehicles to pass slow moving trucks as they ascend the steep 6 percent Spring Creek grade. The existing slow lane and the new truck lane will be constructed with a concrete surface for durability. This phase of the project has been in the planning stages for years and will receive $5.2 million in JTA Modernization funds. "The six percent Spring Creek grade is an historical bottleneck on the freeway due to the slow speeds of
commercial vehicles climbing the hill," Patterson said. "During winter weather, frequent spin outs have resulted in freeway closures that can take several hours to clear up. The new third travel lane will help alleviate some of these issues and keep traffic moving up and over the hill." New, taller median banier has ah·eady been stockpiled by ODOT along the freeway near the work area. When a final contract is awarded, the old, sub-standard barrier that is dete1iorating in places will be removed and the new barrier installed. Several new or extended truck chain-up areas will be constructed along the side of the interstate to provide more room for commercial vehicles to install and remove chains during winter weather events. A new, 10-foot-wide chainup area will be added along the eastbound freeway near mile post 253.5. Existing eastbound and westbound chain-up sites at mile post 249 will be extended to create more room for trucks. The project will also add illumination to several of these sites iffunding allows. An
existing chain up area near La Grande, at mile post 259.5 is being considered for added illumination. Public input on the potential illumination, especially near La Grande, is requested. ''Adding more chain-up areas along the snow zones of major state routes has been a key focus in Oregon over the past several years;' Patterson said. "They help reduce the number of trucks parked along the shoulders to install chains, which is a safety concern for all drivers." Additional components of the project include minor bridge repairs, plus adjustments to the rock cut near mile post 259 to help reduce the amount of debris falling onto the freeway. The rock fall work wi11 widen an existing bench part-way up the wall and add a beffil to help catch falling mate1ials. The modifications will also provide more room for maintenance crews to access the site for routine debris removal. Parties unable to attend the meeting can also contact Patterson by phone at 541963-1365, or by email at Kenneth.E.Patterson@odot.
Calls: Zimmerman told wife to buv bulletproof vest ORLANDO, Fla. CAP) - The former neighborhood watch volunteer who killed Tmyvon Martin told his wife to buy bulletproof vests for them and for his attorney, according to jailhouse calls released Monday. "As uncomfortable as it is, I want you wearing one," George Zimmerman told his wife. Zimmerman was wearing a bulletproof vest when he left jail aftm· posting bond. His attorney, Mark O'Mara, has reported receiving threats. The calls, released by prosecutors, also detail how Zimmerman instructed his wife to transfer money from bank accounts and could play a crucial role in his second bond hearing next week. Zimmerman was released on $150,000 bond in April, several days after the calls took place. At his bond hearing, his wife, Shellie, testified that she didn't know how much money had been raised from a website created
for his legal defense. She also testified that they had limited funds because she was in school full time and Zimmerman wasn't working. Prosecutors say the calls show George and Shellie Zimmerman knew that roughly $135,000 had been raised by the site. Shellie Zimmerman was arrested last week on a charge of making a false statement. George Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder. He has pleaded not guilty, claiming self-defense during the confrontation with the 17-year-old teen in a gated community in Sanford, Fla. The case sparked protests across the country when George Zimmerman wasn't arrested at first and led to nationwide debate over race and self-defense laws. In one call, Zimmerman tells his wife and sister how to change a computer password at a credit union so they can move funds around.
In another call, Shellie Zimmerman said that money raised from the website was also being used to pay off bills. The couple also talked about how they would whisk Zimmerman away from the Seminole County Jail once he was released in April, and discussed using a rental car to drive to a hotel parking gamge. There, they would change into another rental em· to throw off anybody who tried to follow him. Shellie Zimmerman told her husband that the website had crashed because of supportm·s leaving words of support, as well as donations. "Wow, that is awesome," Zimmerman said. "Those people need to start vocalizing themselves." Prosecutors originally had planned to release 151 of Zimmerman's jailhouse calls, but O'Mara objected. A hearing over their release is set at the same time as the bond hearing next week.

SERVING UNION AND WALLOWA COUNTIES SINCE t896
GUEST EDITORIAL
Balancing
act with Russia difficult
Los Angeles Times:
Vladirrrir Putin isn't Josef Stalin; he isn't even Leonid Brezlmev. But the once, present and future Russian president's crackdown on dissent poses a challenge for the United States familiar to students of the Cold War: How to press for greater openness in Russia while engaging with it on important international issues? The answer now, as it was then, is not to allow the need for cooperation to stifle support for democracy. Putin, the former KGB functionary who was elected president for the third time in March - after temporarily retreating to the office of prime minister -was outraged last month when sometimes violent demonstrations overshadowed his inauguration. Since then the regime has clamped down. Last week, Putin signed legislation raising fines for unauthorized protests to $10,000 for individuals and $30,000 for organizers. On Monday, Moscow police launched raids on the homes of as many as 15 opposition figures and seized anti-government literature. Outrageous as they are, these actions can't compare with the oppression of the Soviet era, and Putin's critics should be careful not to assert a false "immoral equivalence" between old and new orders. The U.S.S.R. was a totalitarian regime that brooked virtually no dissent or democracy and that enforced its authority with a vast gulag. The current government realizes it cannot suppress dissent in the same brutal fashion. For example, authorities granted a permit for a ''Russia Day" demonstration Tuesday that brought tens ofthousands of protesters into the streets of Moscow. But a difference in the degree of repression doesn't alter the fact that the Obama administration, like its Cold War predecessors, must seek cooperation with Moscow even as it champions the rights of dissenters. In the 1960s the U.S. cooperated with the Soviet Union at the United Nations to broker an uneasy peace between Arabs and Israelis. Today, the Obama administration has been trying, so far unsuccessfully, to enlist Russia in international action against Syria. Russia is also a factor in efforts to restrain nuclear weapons programs in Iran and North Korea. Allowing for the reserve that characterizes most diplomatic pronouncements, the State Department reacted relatively strongly to the new penalties for demonstrators and the searches of dissenters' homes. A spokeswoman said that "these measures raise serious questions about the arbitrary use oflaw enforcement to stifle free speech and free assembly." President Obama, who has been pursuing a "reset" of relations with Russia, must add his voice to the condemnation. I

Perfect politics? It's elementary Montgomery County, on the District of Columbia's northern border, is a dormitory for the nation's government, where federal workers' sleep is disturbed only by dreams of new ways to improve us. The county's population of ahnost 1 million includes many political staffers and consultants, lawyers, lobbyists and others whose common profession is to cause political power to flow to Washington. Montgomery County also is - this could be just a coincidence - a laboratory of liberalism. Cross Western Avenue on Wisconsin Avenue, leaving Washington and entering Montgomery County, and you immediately pass Ralph Lauren, Cartier, Bulgari, Christian Dior, Gucci, Jimmy Choo, Tiffany & Co. and Saks Fifth Avenue. For those who toil in the ambit of the federal government, virtue may be its own reward, but Louis Vuitton luggage is not to be sneezed at. Tbis area is notable not only for its opulence but also - this could be just a coincidence - for industrious regulating to bring everyone into compliance with the right rules. Which brings us to the reign of viitue at Bethesda Elementary SchooL There,
GEORGE WILL SYNDICATED COLUMNIST
campaign-finance reform reached an apogee in recent student elections to pick officers for the next school year. The Post reported this ¥.-ith overflowing approval under the headline "These elections stayed classy." "CANDIDATES AT THE AFFLUENT, 500-student school, where many parents have political connections, can't give out buttons. They can't wear T-shirts bearing their names. They can't talk about their competition. And they can't make promises. Not even about school lunches." A 9-year-Dld candidate for vice president told The Post, 'We can't say certain things because the kids would get too excited." Of course politics should be purged of excitement. But lest you get the wrong idea - the idea that liberalism would, ifit could, so finnly restrict political speech that elective offices might as well be allocated by lotte1ies - tl1e school authorities do permit candidates to post
signs. Just six per candidate, however, and only as long as the signs say nothing about promises or rivals - or perhaps anything else. The Post says the "constraints"were first imposed "in the 2008 election cycle to keep campaign expenditures from spiraling out of control." Something uncontrolled? Can't have that. Otherwise corruption or the appearance thereof- the rationale for adult speech "constraints" emanating from Washington - might become the serpent in the garden that is Bethesda Elementary. The next thing you know the wee candidates would be competing for votes the way George Washington did. He offered whiskey. At Bethesda Elementary, the prophylactic rules keep size-4 sneakers off the slippery slope to perdition, understood as candidates dispensing Tootsie Rolls. Bethesda Elementary is diligently preparing its pupils for the world Montgomery County hopes is coming. It will be a world in which politics, cleansed of promises and criticism and too much talk, will be pmfectly equal and ever so nice.
Your views Plan not inconsistent To the Editor: When I picked up my April issue of Frontiers in Ecology, I found this first sentence in one of the articles: "Scientists have called repeatedly for a broader conservation agenda that emphasizes not only protected areas but also the landscapes in which those areas are embedded." This is a very important principle for the Wallowa-Whitman Travel Plan. We need to view the landscape as one integrated unit and work to make it function better as a whole rather than protecting some places and degrading others. It is clear from a detailed reading of the withdrawn Travel Plan that it was not inconsistent with the demands of the people opposing it for motorized

access to berries, firewood, hunting, fishing, camping and ATV riding 4,300 miles of routes open to motorized vehicles is more than enough to accommodate all of those activities. A comparison with Idaho's Payette National Forest, which also spans 2.3 million acres and includes similar topography ranging from the depths of Hells Canyon to 9,000-foot peaks, supports this assertion. The Payette recently completed its Travel Plan, which cuhninated in the identification of 2,263 miles of total motorized routes. The Wallowa-Whitman National Forest currently has 1,806 miles of roads and OHV trails inside riparian areas alone. That's 80 percent of the roads that the Payette National Forest has across all2.3 million acres. One motorized stream crossing can cause a lot of damage to water quality, yet the
Wa11owa-Wbitman cmTently has 13,597 total motorized stream crossings. The survival of sahnon, steelhead and bull trout are jeopardized by the excessive number ofroads in riparian areas and stream crossings. If the Forest Service had set out to design an effective and maintainable road system to accommodate access concerns, it would not look anything like the sprawling system we have today. This massive road system that grew by accretion over many decades now decays across our National Forest and is increasingly detrimental for management goals. Our challenge is to designate an ecologically and economically sustainable road system out of the current entangled sprawling network of roads.

Library plays host to eBay workshop More than 100 million active eBay users worldwide buy or sell about 2,000 items every minute, day and night, aU year long. Thousands of those people make a living selling things oneBay. They use more than a dozen eBay sites in different countries, but it's easy for a buyer in France to pay in Euros, while a seller in Oregon receives payment in U.S. dollars.All this might seem mind-boggling, but wait! For those who have thought about using this huge online marketplace, Libraries of Eastern Oregon has a solution. Bob Jones, librmy director at the 1\lliJton-Freewater Public Library, has been buying and selling on eBay for a more than 13 years, with customers across the USA
and Canada, and also in Europe, Asia, South America and Australia. On June 23, he will offer a free fom~ hour mini course, "eBay For Fun & Profit." Bob has taught eBay classes m·ound eastern Oregon in the past, but eBay never stops growing and changing, so even people who attended one of those classes can benefit from an update. This new class will provide the latest information on successful buying and selling on eBay, in a concise fonnat. The program will fWl from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Cook Memorial Library, 2006 Fourth St. in La Grande. Admission is free, but attendance wiH be limited to the capacity of the room. For more information, call Terri Washburn at 541-962-1339.

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) will host a Public Open House Meeting June 21, 6:30-8 p.m., at the ODOT Region 5 Headquarters in La Grande, located at 31 02 Island Avenue. The meeting is being held to share information and hear comments regarding ODOT's $43 million 1-84 Kamela Interchange- 2nd St Undercrossing (La Grande) Project that will begin construction next year. The work will extend along the interstate between the Kamela Interchange at Exit 246 and the 2nd Street undercrossing in La Grande at mile post 260.2. The multi-year project will resurface the fasVinside lane with new asphalt and place concrete in the outside lanes of the freeway, replace functionally obsolete median barrier, repair bridges, construct rock fall corrections, add truck chain-up areas and build a westbound truck climbing lane along the Spring Creek grade. Persons interested in hearing more about the project are encouraged to attend this public meeting. One phase of the project will construct new, or extend existing truck chain-up areas along the side of the inte rstate to provide more room for commercial vehicles to install and remove chains during winter weather events. A new 1 0-foot wide chain-up area will be added along the eastbound freeway near mile post 253.5. Existing eastbound and westbound chain-up sites at mile post 249 will be extended to create more room for trucks. The project will also add illumination to several of these sites if funding allows. An existing chain-up area near La Grande, at mile post 259.5 is being considered for added illumination. Public input on the entire project and specifically the potential illumination of chain-up areas near La Grande is requested. Interested parties unable to attend the meeting, or who would like more information can contact ODOT Project Leader Ken Patterson by phone at (541) 963-1365, or by email at Kenneth.E.Patterson@odot.state.or.us.
Information about the project will also be posted on the Web at www.oregon.gov/ODOTIHWYIREGION5/.

prominent law finn. ''We still had all the traditional markers of success with a fat paycheck, the fancy office, the impressive lines on our resumes," the first lady told a crowd of about 30,000, including 5,000 graduates. "But the truth is, neither of us was all that fulillled." "I was living the dream, but it wasn't my dream," Obama said. "Craig felt the same way, unbeknownst to me." Eventually, both left their lucrative jobs for other passions. Obama went to work for the Chicago mayor, Robinson to coach basketball. "Success is only meaningful and enjoyable if it feels like your own," Obama said. Arich life is defined by more than a paycheck, Obama said, urging graduates to focus on what they have rather than what they lack. Obama also advised graduates to keep in dose touch with the family and friends who are impmtant to them, saying she never missed a chance to tell her father she loved him before he died from complications of multiple sclerosis. She fought tears as she recalled her mother's assurances that her father was proud to be her dad. "Liking them on Facebook doesn't count," she said. "Nor does following then on Twitter. What counts is making the time to be there in person." Obama's stop in Oregon was also a chance for her to catch up with family and meet a new nephew.

"I see the people who came to see their loved ones walk, and I see the shadows of those we wish were here," said Smutz, who graduated Summa Cum Laude with a computer science} multimedia studies degree. He said the presence and actions of the EOU Class of 2012 honored and praised "the sacrifice, effort and hope of all those who care how we leave this field." Smutz aliD said he saw power among EOU's Class of2012. "I see the power in the learning and strength of character those (graduation) robes represent, and I see the love of all those who brought us here," the president's scholar said.

stand the world and to change it does not make him and his classmates better people. "That power is a fact. It is how we use it that either ennobles or degrades us," Smutz said. The presentation by Smutz followed by opening remarks by President Bob Davies, who said the Class of 2012 will face many challenges brought on by a poor economy, wars, international instability and more. "However, your journey is anchored with hope, excitement and inspiration. With the power of your knowledge and the skills you learned and honed here at Eastern, we know you will be successful and that you will be able to overcome the challenges that you will encounter. Now, more than ever, society needs you to overcome these challenges and to succeed." Davies said to do this the graduates must be able to "see the practical when everyone else sees only the impractical." EOU's Brianna Coulombe,
a student representative on the State Board of Higher Education, told the Class of 2012 to savor graduation day and the energy encompassing it. Coulombe advised the students to "store the energy oftoday and use it whenever you need a booster shot.'" The students who were presented diplomas included those in the Oregon State University Agriculture Program at Eastern. Davies donned a cowboy hat before greeting these students, whose degrees are from OSU. Tlris was one of many steps Davies, who danced with and hugged many of the graduates, took to add zest to the oeremony. Davies said people from as far away as Japan and China had logged on to the live webcast EOU produced ofcommencement. The approximately 400 students who received diplomas were among684 who earned degrees from EOU in 2011-12. At least 2,500 people attended Eastern's 82nd annual commencement oeremony.
Much of the Rysdams' tuition and fees were paid for with money from the federal Trade Refonn, Accountability, Development and EmploymentAct. The TRADE Act helps workers who have lost their jobs because of things like market conditions.
Father's Day had extra meaning for Rysdam Sr. on Sunday because of the chance he had to walk with his son at Satmday's commencement. ''It was one of the best (Father's Days) ever. It was just great. I am so happy."

In spite of the spittle bugs, sumlller
blooms abound With many ofour spring flowers past their prime and swnmer bloomers coming on strong, now is a good time to spend a few minutes each day trimming, or dead-heading, old or spent blossoms, especially for plants you don't want to reseed. Just remember to not remove tulip or daffodil foliage after blooming. The bulbs receive a tremendous amount of energy to store for next year's flowering season and need to have the leaves die back on their own. Flowering tops may be cut off; just don't remove the leaves. If their untidy appearance is bothersome, try planting a few annuals around the spring bulb beds. Most bulbs are buried deep enough that planting annuals over the top or near them won't damage them in any way. Another idea is to plant perennials that bloom later near the bulbs to cover up their undesirable appearance. Dead-heading also allows you ((Several ofmy the chance to plants which had inspect your garden.

The easiest control, and the one that causes the least amount of damage to the environment, is to simply spray, at close range, the actual spit ball which will dislodge the insect. Several of my plants which had more than 10 spit balls needed to be sprayed each day for a few days in a row but are now almost spittlebug-free. Although we tend to think of the majority of Union and adjoining counties as dry, compared to the Willamette Valley, spittle bugs never seemed to be a problem in truly drier areas such as Burns. With our milder than usual winter, this may account for their increased numbers this year. Although we haven't harvested snow peas yet- ours are just now blooming - several gardeners in the area have. Peas planted even now will still yield a good crop. It's too late to plant tomatoes from seed, as the growing season in our tri-county area won't give you enough time to harvest a crop. Succession planting also can yield remarkable results. This is simply planting seeds of annual vegetables every two to three weeks, giving you a continual crop fur an extended period as opposed to one huge crop all at once. Vegetables tl1at can still be safely planted from seed may include lettuces, beans, beets, peas, chard, radishes, and kale. It is doubtful that many gardeners in the tri-county area could get a suitable crop of broccoli or kohlrabi if the seeds are planted now. Your most reliable source of information is still the back of the seed packet. Days to germination need to be added to days to maturity, unless the seed packet specifically states otherwise. We are about ready to put the corn in the ground. We started seed about a month ago in peat pots in an unheated greenhouse. The plants are now about 6 inches tall, hopefully we'll get that ''knee-high by the Fourth of July'' growth we need for a healthy crop in August. Until next time, I hope this growing season is a good one for all of you.

There's probably nothing more exasperating than working hard in the vegetable garden all summer, only to end up ~ith hard green tomatoes, unripe melons, and sweet peppers the size of robin's eggs. Oregon's cool springs and cool summer nights can prevent tomatoes and peppers from flowering and setting fruit early enough to grow to a decent size before the frosts offall arrive. Ross Penhallegon, horticulturist with the Oregon State University Extension Service, recommends using plastic sheeting to warm the soil. The sheeting comes in various colors including black, green and even red. Black seems to be the most popular color with vegetable gardeners. "Lay sheets ofblack plastic on the soil where those heat-loving vegetables will be growing," Penhallegon said. "The plastic absorbs heat during the day and keeps the soil warm during the night." Black polyethylene film in rolls three or four feet wide and 1 to 1.5 mils thick works fine, but Penhallegon recommends using thicker plastic if you want to use it for more than one season. If you want something that Vlrill decompose by the end of the year, look for black paper mulch. Before planting peppers, melons and tomatoes, lay the plastic on the gr·ound where the plants will gr'Ow. Cut six-inch holes in the plastic every two feet. If you use drip irrigation in your gm·den, put drip lines under the plastic. If you use sprinklers to water, dampen the soil before you lay the plastic down and cut the holes larger to ensure that enough moisture enters the ground from the sprinklers. Dig a hole for each transplant where there is a hole in the plastic. Then plant your plants. Be sure there's enough plastic on all sides to cover a mature root system. After everything's planted, take a pitchfork and punch some holes in the plastic so water will soak through, but avoid the drip hose. Then weigh down the edges of the plastic with a few mounds of soil.
Roses: Keep the rust off the blooms By Judy Scott Oregon Stat e University Extensio n Se rvice
Oregon is famous for its beautiful roses. Ample rainfall and mild temperatures encourage leaf growth and flower production. But the same conditions that favor roses also favor their diseases. Black spot, rust and powdery mildew can challenge any gardener. Simple adjustments in care, however; can improve the health of roses, according to Jay Pscheidt, plant pathologist for Oregon State University Extension Service. First, it's important to understand the conditions that foster disease in roses. A fungus that overwinters on infected plant tissue causes black spot. Spores are splashed onto newly emerging leaves by rain or overhead watering. If the leaf stays wet for 24 hours, spores germinate and grow into the leaf surface. See Roses /Page 3B

Going Two-For-one With Summer Meals
The Cost of Raising aFamily
There's nothing fishy about turning yesterday's dinner into today' s meal
One kid or one Ferrarill Bill's about the same
By Susan M. Selasky Detroit Free Press
Once summer hits, many of us are constantly on the go, so getting the most out of meals is essential. Today's salmon cake recipe fits that bill because it started with a leftover broiled salmon. It's like getting two meals out of one. When the salmon was broiled, the seasoning used was a basic all-purpose seasoning. So adding a slightly different seasoning was OK to make these tasty cakes. The flavor profile changed enough to make it different. Salmon cakes are one of my favorite uses for leftover salmon. For one thing, they are super easy and versatile: You can serve the cakes as is or on a bed of mixed greens, on a bun as a sandwich or on small rolls for sliders. Or you can make mini versions and serve them as appetizers cold or hot. One ofthe binding ingredients that hold these together is panko bread crumbs. Popular for several years, panko bread crumbs also called Japanese bread crumbs - are flaky and larger than store brand bread crumbs. They are made from the center of the bread and widely available at most grocery stores. Look fur them in the ethnic aisle near the Asian ingredients or near bread crumb-type product". Most stores sell several brands and varieties. The makers of Progresso bread crumbs have a plain panko variety as well as a lemon-seasoned, which would work well with this recipe. Panko bread crumbs are ideal because they add a

WASHINGTON- For $235,000, you could indulge in a shiny new Ferrari - or raise a child for 17 years. A government report released Thursday found that a middle-income family with a child bom last year will spend about that much in child-related expenses from birth through age 17. That's a 3.5 percent increase from 2010.

The estimate also includes the cost of transportation, child care, education, food, clothing, health care and miscellaneous expenses. The USDA has issued the report every year since 1960, when it estimated the cost of raising a child was just over $25,000 for middle-income families. That would be $191,720 today when aqjusted for inflation. Housing was also the largest expense in raising a child back in 1960. But the cost of child care for young children - negligible 50 years ago - is now the second largest expense as more moms work outside the home. The report considers middle-income parents to be those with an income between $59,400 and $102,870. It says families that earn more can expect to spend more on their chilch-en. The cost per child decreases as a family has more children. The report found that families with three or more children spend 22 percent less per child than those with two children. The savings result from hand-me-down clothes and toys, shared bedrooms and buying food in larger quantities. The full report i" available at www.cnpp.usda.gov.

Powdery mildew hits Oregon roses during summer's driest time, particularly when dry days are followed by nights with high humidity. Rather than targeting these diseases individually, Pscheidt treats the rose as a whole organism and recommends a yearmund integrated approach to pest and disease control. Pscheidt's recommendations: Choose disease-resistant plants. The disease reactions of many rose cultivars are listed in the OSU Extension Service's "Pacific Northwest Plant Disease Control Handbook," available at most county Extension offices and online. Plant varieties with good resistance to all three major diseases; ask about them at your local nursery.
It might be hard to find a cultivar with disease resistance and the color and fragrance you desire. However, selecting plants that have even moderate resistance can reduce the care required. Provide air circulation. Take care to plant new roses far enough from walls, shrubs or each other to allow air to circulate and keep leaves dry. Prune stems from the center of the bush to keep the shape open. Remove and destroy diseased plant material. Because all three of these diseases grow from infected tissue, sanitation is of primary importance. Rake and remove all leaves, dead flowers and plant debris from around the bush. Keep leaves dry and nighttime humidity low. Water early in the day and avoid splashing the leaves. Pscheidt and colleagues at OSU Extension have prepared a pamphlet that details rose diseases and their controls. It includes a year-round schedule of what to do to keep roses healthy. "Controlling Diseases and Aphids on your Roses," EC 1520 may be downloaded for free or call1-800-561-6719 to purchase a printed copy.

HOROSCOPES MONDAY, )UNh 18, 2012 YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder Born today. you are not the kind of individual to sit around and wait for things to happen; rather, you will get on your feet and insert yourself into situat ions, often getting things >tarted in lhe firsl place. You thrive on action and become quickly bored and disenchanted when you are required, by fate or circwnstances, to sit on the sidelines. You know how to make plans and how to implement them, but you are unusual in that you are almost best when there is no plan and you can simply listen to your gut, trust your instincts and go where the v.inds of fortune may blow you. TUESDAY, JUNE 19 GEMINI (:\lay 21-)une 20) -- You'll want to be sure that you have room to maneuver .. in all di rectinns. Certai n negotiations will
the schedule will have you doing things in a di!Ierent order from what you had planned .. but you can reap some benefits. LEO (july 23-Aug. 22) --You .vill have an opportunity to play catch-up today-- but be aware that you will only l1e able to get so far
by Stella Wilder CAI'RI COR~ (JJec. 22-)an. 19) - You'll want to make the proper apologies, but don't belabor what everyone already knows and understands. Get to work quickly. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) .. Your unusual take on key issues will win you allen·
lion and a certain dmmml of resped .. even
before nighllitll.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Start at the beginning today .. 1t's the best place to start, and will give you the proper perspective as you anticipate obstacles. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 22) .. Accuracy is the key today; you don't want to do any1hing in a random or uninformed fashion. Keep right when you face an oncoming threat. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It's impor· tant for you to be specific and explicit today, especially when you are giving instructions to those who are new on the scene. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) .. Any lake longer lhan e.<pecled. rehearsal you have will wanl lu be conducted CANCER (JLme 21-july22) .. A change in in real time; don't fake tt for any reasonI
from your most vocal critics. PIS CES (Feb. l9-March 20) .. Takethings one at a time and you'll not only make steady progress, but you'll be better prepared for what comes tomorrow as well. ARIES (March 21-Aprill9) .. Now is the time for you to insist that others keep pace with you -- or you can expect a project that is nearing completion to fall apart. TACRUS (April 20-May 20) .. Someone may suggest that you are only being an alarmist, but the fact is that you arelooking at things in an appropriately realistic manner.

What separates you from most others, however, is your knack for bringing those ideas to fruition; some may call you a dreamer, but your track record of turning dreams into reality is impressive, and can not he den ied. There are times when you may bite off more than you can chew, and allempl !hal which lmly cannol be clone -but you believe there is a kind oi nobility in such a failure. WEDNESDAY, )UNE20 GEMINI (May 21-)une 20) -- 'Nhen it's time to start, it's time to start, and you mustn't let anyone delay the inevitable. You'll have many around you wantingto help. CANCER (June21-luly 22) -- You've been enjoying more freedom than usual. perhaps,
but today it will be time to settle into a routine that sees you doing as you're told. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Take care that you don't try to get things done so quickly that you actually leave one or two essentials unattended. You must account for all components of a current project. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Make a list of priorities and do your best to stick to it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-jan. 19) -· Don't be in a hurry to move on today before you address the issues raised by each and every signpost. Navigate the day with care. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- After a little careful investigation, you're likely to dtscovcr that the cause of a certain difficulty is exactly what you expected. PISCES (Peb. 19-1\!arch 20) -- What begins quickly is likely to end slowly ·- and vice versa. Sensitivity Vlill count for much as you explore a new situation. ARIES {March 21-April 19) -- Tensions may imrease today dS many lry lo work !heir magic all at once around you. Maintain a sense of humor, no matter what happens!

Is there a 'Dad Divide' along with the 'Mommy Wars?' • With more fathers staying home at least part time, there's growing evidence that dads who have to go to the office are jealous By Leanne ltalie Associated Press
NEW YORK- Hey, Mr. Mom. What's up, Workaholic? Whether they say it out loud or acknowledge it at all, that work-home divide traditionally reserved for the Mommy Wars can also rear between dads who go off to the office every day and the kind in the trenches with the kids. There are bound to be rifts, given the growing league of dads staying home at least part-time. But do the paths of work dads and home dads intertwine enough to make them care quite so deeply as the ladies? How exactly are they perceived, not by researchers or journalists, but by each other? "To be a stay-at-home dad requires a lot of confidence in who you are," said Paxton Helms, 41, in Washington, D.C. He became one about four years ago, when his daughter was 3 months old. A son followed and he now takes pmt-time contracts as an international development consultant, with flexible hours. His wife also works part-time. "The strangest thing that ever happened to me as a (stay-at-home dad) was riding on the Metro with both my kids and a guy asking me, 'So where's Mom?' I couldn't even think why in the world somebody would be asking me that question, so I couldn't even muster an answer," he said. SUSPICION OVER WIVES, LAYOFFS Other at-home dads worry about jealousy from working brethren (What are they really thinking about
"To be a stay-at-home dad requires a lot of confidence in who you are." - Paxton Helms, 41
all that time spent with the women?). Or suspicion that they're out of work. And dads on both sides of the divide report the occasional cold shoulder. "It seems that they try to avoid me or don't want to talk about what life is like for them," said dad-ofone Donald DeLong, 55, a Bloomfield Township, Mich., attorney who acknowledges a "deeply rooted need to work and 'earn a living."' "When I do talk to them, the topics stay guy-safe. That is, sports, cars. After all we're both still guys. We don't talk about that sensitive touchy-feely stuff." Other at-home dads, those by choice or pushed out of the job market, said they've endured some snark, but they consider it more of a dad-on-dad discomfort than a serious divide. Mmtin Weckerlein, 33, is among them. He simply doesn't have the time to care. He was a tank commander in the Germany military, then a bank worker for six years before he gave it up to be an at-home for his three kids, ages 8, 3 and 9 months. The family lives in suburban Washington, D.C., where his wife has a government job. "When I'm with other dads who are my age, whether they work or stay at home, they tend to be pretty accepting and even curious as to how that works that we can afford me staying home, what I do during the day with the kids, and they say it must
be nice to have that time," he said. ''When I am talking with men who aren't fathers or who are older, their questions usually focus on what my career goals are after I am done being home with my kids. They seem to assume this is only a temporary thing for our family, a pause in my career for a few years, instead of an investment in our family," Weckerlein explained. THE STEREOTYPES Yes, Mr. Mom comes up, the newest iteration in the shape of Chris Rock and his goofy band of dads with infants strapped to their chests in the movie "What to Expect When You're Expecting." It's been nearly 30 years since Michael Keaton was that guy on screen, setting the kitchen on fire and making his kids miserable in "Mr. Mom," but the lingering moniker feels more like yesterday for Weckerlein and other at-home dads. "I hate that phrase, Mr. Mom. I can't imagine my wife going into the office and saying, 'Hi everyone, it's Mrs. Dad,"' said Dan Zevin, a humorist, at-home dad to two and author of a new book, "Dan Gets a Minivan: Life at the Intersection of Dude and Dad." In Boston, 32-year-old Nolan Kido is no stereotype. He's the exhausted at-home dad of an 11-week-old daughter as his ¥<ife completes her dental education. He deferred work on his doctoral degree in accounting after doing some recessionera math: his earning power versus her eaming power in the face of more than $360,000 in student loans. "At the very beginning
they were a little weirded out, like what do we talk about, what's the common themes, but now the impression that I get more is actually jealousy," he said of his working dad friends. "It's not, like, mean kinds of things but just, 'Oh, I wish I could stay home' or 'Oh, I'd love to go to that pmk"' The number of at-home dads who are primary caregivers for their children reached nearly 2 million in 2010, or one in 15 fathers, according to one estimate. Al Watts, president of the National At-Home Dad Network, believes a more accurate count is about 7 million, using broader definitions that include part-time workers. That amoilllts to one-third of married fathers in the U.S. Most, he said, want to be there, as opposed to the kind who never thought about it until the ax fell on their careers. And more often than women, they do earn a bit of income at the same time, he said. COULD THEY DO IT? Watts, in Omaha, has been home with kids for a decade, since the oldest of his four was a baby. He sees a subtle shift in attitudes emanating from working dads. "Eight years ago, one of my wife's customers, when he found out that I was an at-home dad he said, 'Oh you know, I'd really love to do that.' I knew what he really meant was that he assumed he could then just hang out at home and play video games and watch TV and not have to go to work anymore,"Watts said. "Now when I have those conversations, they're generally like, 'You know, I really
wish I could do that. But then they find out I have four kids and they're like, 'Well, I couldn't do that!'" The raised eyebrows, pregnant pauses and need to hide their real interests - shopping, crossing guard duty, laundry- for more generic work-dad friendly fm·e is tedious sometimes for Trey Parker, 32, in the Atlanta suburb of Alpharetta. With a full-time working wife and two boys, ages 2 and 9 months to care for, a trip to Costco holds more allure than last night's game or chatter about sales quotas. "It's a little harder to speak with guys who are corporate dads," Parker said. ''At Christmas parties and stu:fflike that, there's absolutely nothing in common with them. They're either talking about sports or whatever sales or whatnot they have going on at the office, and you can't commenton any of that stuff. You're naturally drawn to the women because they're talking about the kids and the family." Weckerlein wasn't used to the idea that wanting to stay home with the kids was something other than perfectly natural: "It's kind of surprising that this is really a big deal because in the 21st century I thought we could think a little bit different. But yes, I get that 'Mr. Mom."' There won't be any of that from41-year-old Marty Guise in St. Louis, but he does feel the distance. He has a full-time job and a part-time one to pay the bills. The consultant for nonprofit organizations has two kids, ages 13 and 11. His wife quit her teaching job to be home but now works as a
substitute. '"What do you do for a living?' is a pretty common ice breaker," he said. "When a man tells me that he stays at home, it's usually preceded by or followed quickly with a justification, like 'I lost my job.' I receive that as a defense for staying at home. Right or wrong, men like to be the breadwinners." He quickly adds: "I think it's devaluing of men or women to say that staying at home is any less important than working 40-plus hours a week." WHAT'S IT LIKE CHANGING ALL THOSE DIAPERS? Do you miss having a real job? Tony Reynolds, 47 and at-home dad for 11 years, has heard it all since a downsize at a large insurance company solidified his decision to be home in suburban Columbus, Ohio, with his two youngest boys from a second marriage. "The other dads make snide comments or ask bizarre questions sometimes," he said. "I say it IS a real job and I bet you couldn't do it." Once pretty much by himself with the moms all day, the economy has driven some of his former dad doubters his way. "One used to say 'I wish my wife made so much money so I could stay home,' then he lost his job and started taking care of the kids and was like, 'Wow, this is a lot of work,"' Reynolds said. "Another used to drive a Mercedes," he added. "He's now a crossing guard at the school. I got him the gig."

Grandparents' early memories are cherished DEAR ABBY: My paxents aTe approaching their 80s, and I'd like to recommend to seniors that a cherished gift to their children and grandchildren would be a joumal or family histoiy book written by them describing their childhood memories and eaTly maTried years. So many funny stories and historical maTkers of an eaTlier time - before computers and fax machines- will be lost if they're not shaTed. Children and grandchildren can be given the chance to see through your eyes and your memories what their aunts, uncles and grandpaTents were like, and you can laugh together at the silly things that happened when you were young. The family history can be passed from one generation to the next, and I cannot think of a more special gift. -CHARLENE IN CAMARILLO, CALIF. DEAR CHARLENE: That's a splendid idea. However, I would urge children and grandchildren to not wait for the family history, but to INTERVIEW their parents and grandparents now, with pencil in hand. Better yet, if possible, use a video recorder.
teet your family from his wife's "negative energy'' could end the friendship, so I don't recommend it. Seeing him when his wife is otherwise occupied would be far more diplomatic.
DEAR ABBY: I have a good friend who is maTried to an abrasive, negative woman. She never has anything nice to say about anyone or anything. I value this friend and would like to continue our friendship, but I don't want his wife's negative energy aTound my family. Should I explain that he and his children aTe welcome in our home, but his wife is not? Or should I arrange to see him only when I know his wife is occupied elsewhere? - S.K OUT WEST DEAR S.K: What a sad situation. Your friend's wife's behavior indicates that she's an unhappy and troubled woman. As a couple, they probably need all the friends they can get. To tell this man that you want to pro-

OTSEGO, Mich. (AP)-A baby robin is spending some quality time with a pair of friendly cats in southwestern Michigan. MLive.com reports Karin Caston's cats have accepted the bird, named Peeps, since she found it about two weeks ago in her yard in Allegan County's Otsego Township, about 35 miles south of Grand Rapids. The bird lives in a cage, but spends time nestled in the fur of Caston's cats or perched on their backs. It also apparently likes to hang out on Caston's finger. Caston says the rescued bird neaTly is ready to be released.
Semitrailer leaks fuel after duct tape patch fails LIVINGSTON, Mont. (AP) - Maybe duct tape doesn't fix everything. Officials in southern Montana say a Canadian truck driver found that out the hard way when he hied to stop a fuel tank leak with the all-purpose tape before going to sleep at a huck stop neaT Livingston. The Livingston Enterprise reports a huck stop employee called PaTk County firefighters at about 3 a.m. Thursday to report tl1eleak. Fire ChiefDann Babcox estimates about 100 gallons of diesel fuel leaked from the tractor-trailer onto the ground. The truck driver works for a company based in Saskatchewan. He says he thought he might have hit something on Interstate 90, but when he stopped at the time, he didn't notice any dan1age.

bridled horse that was running loose on a Pennsylvania highway. State police say the horse was spotted neaT the California, Pa., exit ofthe Man-Fayette Expressway about 7:15p.m. Wednesday. Police say the horse would run away when they approached, so they used the stun gun and lasso to subdue and control the animal. Police say they can't find the owner. They say the animal wasn't saddled and had no identifying brandings or otl1er marks. The horse was taken by Washington County Animal Control. Aveterinarian was called in to tend to the horse. California is about 25 miles south of Pittsburgh.
Woman accused of biting employee KODIAK, Alaska (AP)- A Wal-Mart employee in Kodiak is taking a bite out of crime- the hard way. A 33-yeaT-old Kodiak woman is accused of shoplifting and biting an employee in the chest while he was hying to hold her in the paTking lot until police arrived. Hope Fuller is charged with assault, theft and criminal Inischief The Kodiak Daily Minor reports (http://is.geJnHYAes) authorities say she was shopping at Wal-Mart on June 7.

DEAR ABBY: I'm a fairly intelligent 45-yeaT-old woman. After being single for four yeaTs, I began dating a DEAR man my age with whom I shaTe many ABBY interests. EaTly on, we had a few fights -possibly because we were both hurt in our previous relationships and were having a haTd time adjusting to and trusting a new person. Things have settled down now. Most of our time is spent together even though we live an hour apart, and we're considered a couple by our friends. I enjoy the time we spend together, but I keep remembering our eaTly fights and I wony about repeats. I think because of our pasts we'll date for a long time before either of us considers moving in or making serious commitments. My question is, how can you know if you're on the right path? - A LITTLE SKITTISH IN CANADA DEAR SKITTISH: The right path usually isn't a short sprint. You're on it when you realize how many common interests you have and how much you enjoy each other's company (which you do).You're on the right path when you can be open and honest ·with each other and work out differences without quaneling.And you're Iight: It CAN take some time to get there, but there's nothing ~Tong with that.

James' big night gives Heat2-1 series lead • Miami pulls out 91-85 victory over Thunder in Game 3 ofNBA Finals MIAMI (AP) - Halfway to a title, LeBron James shows no sign ofletting this one get away. James had 29 points and 14 rebounds, and the Miami Heat took a 2-1lead in the NBA Finals with a 91-85 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday night. Dwyane Wade had 25 points, seven rebounds and seven assists for the Hea~ who were in this same position through furee games last year, then didn't win again against fue Dallas Mavericks. James' poor performance was part ofthe problem then, but he seems on top of his game this time. His
3-pointer sent the Heat to the fourth quarter with the lead, and he scored five straight Miami points when the Heat were building just enough cushion to hold off another late flurry by the Thunder. Game 4 is Tuesday night. Kevin Durant had 25 points for the Thunder, but picked up his fourth foul in the third quarter and had to go to the bench when they had seemed to have control of the game. Russell Westbrook finished with 19 points. The Heat survived their own fourth-quarter sloppiness by getting enough big plays from their Big Three. James scored 30 and 32 points in the first two games, his two best finals perfonnances. He fell just shy of another 30-point effort but reached his 20 points for the 20th time this
basket with 7:32left. James answered with two free throws about 20 seconds later, and the teams would trade turnovers and stops over the next couple oftense minutes. Wade then converted a three-point play, and another minute went by before James powered to fue basket, Durant trying to get in position to draw a charge but watching helplessly as he picked up his fifth foul. James made the free throw for an 84-77 advantage with 3:47 to play. After another basket by James, fue Thunder had one last bursthaven't they always in this series? -ripping off six straight points to get within one before Bosh made a pair of free throws with 1:19 to play. Durant missed badly on a wild shot attempt, and tl1e Thunder missed another chance when Westbrook was off from behind the arc.

postseason, two shy ofVVade's franchise record set in 2006. "It's all about chemistry," James said. "We understand where we like to get the ball, what we like to do in close situations, and it's good to see us execute down the stretch. But more importantly it was great to see we were able to get stops. That's where the game is won and we did that." Chris Bosh had 10 points and 11 rebounds for the Heat, who can win a second title by winning the next two games at home.

ENTERPRISE- The saddle broncs riders were in fine form wifu most riders completing qualifying rides, but the bulls won the competition against riders at fue Mountain High Broncs and Bulls Rodeo this weekend. Derrick Huffaker ofWoodrufi; Utah, won the saddle bronc competition with a combined score of157. Huffaker was the All-Around Champion at the 2011 Western States Ranch Rodeo Association National Finals World Championships. For two years running, Randy Baremore ofWallowa took second in saddle broncs with 154 points. Baremore is a favorite to watch at local rodeos and is a real cowboy by day, working the Baremore Ranch with his family. Jake Dunlap of Haines was third with 151 points, Chance Piela of Hines took fourth with 150, J.D. Brock of Powell Butte, (formerly of Imnaha), was fifth with 149 and Cole Estill of Gerlach, Nev., was sixth with 148 points. Local cowboy and regular rider at Broncs and Bulls, George Kohlepp, made a fine showing with a 65-point qualifying saddle bronc ride Friday night, but was unable to couple it with a second qualifier. A high percentage of the bronc riders stayed in the saddle for eight seconds or more, but the bull riders had a tough time with only four qualifying riders. Colby Riley of Ephrata, Wash., rode to first place on Saturday with 152 points. Riley was the only bull rider wifu two qualifying rides for the entire rodeo and the only qualifier on Saturday. Three bull riders qualified on Friday night, but with only one ride apiece. Jay Lee Britt of Hermiston placed second overall with 83 points, Cody Casper of Buckley, Wash., was third with 77 points, and Lane Bailey of Joseph rounded out the money vvinners with 65 points. Many of the bronc riders held on for eight seconds or more, but Pook Hoots of Spring Creek, Nev., wanted to step it up a notch and add w.ri:rling a lariat to his saddle bronc ride. His first attempt ended up in a wreck in the bucking chute and his horse landed on him, pinning him for more than 10 seconds. Unshaken, Hoots asked for are-ride and attempted the same feat, t\virling his lariat as he rode the saddle bronc. Tlris time, lris horse ran to the far end of the arena, close to the grandstands and slammed Hoots into a panel, breaking his glasses which cut into his face leaving superficial scrapes. Neither ride qualified Hoots for a score, but he provided a new level of excitement. On Friday night Cade Steen ofJoseph took a spill and his face was stepped on by his bull. He was transported to Wallowa Memorial Hospital, but was soon released after a visit to the emergency room. The sun shone on the Broncs and Bulls Rodeo all weekend and drew a good crowd to the annual event. Barrel Man Danger Dan Whitmoyer of Helena, Mont., bantered with announcer and rodeo organizer Lee Daggett adding the rodeo clown element to the weekend Whitmoyer's strengtl1s seem to be his dance moves and his Nerffootball arm.

Armstrong under attack for alleged doping- agmn By John Leicester AP Sports Columnist
MCTphoto
Lance Armstrong faces renewed allegations about drug use during his long and successful cycling career. Armstrong won seven Tour de France titles after a battle with cancer. He retired from professional cycling in 2009.
PARIS (AP) -Take the entire Lance Annstrong story, the cancer survivor's resurrection from his sick bed to conquer the hardest bike race in the world, and flush it. Goodbye. Good riddance. Never happened. That, at least, is what his sport will be able to do if the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency can back up its reams of new allegations that the seven-time Tour de France chan1pion wasn't a larger-than-life, good ol' American inspiration but merely a co-conspirator in one of the biggest chemically powered fi·auds in sporting history. There's a long way to go before that can happen, if it happens at all. It would be out of character for Annstrong not to contest every charge, sentence and comma in USADA's 15-page rap sheet, sent to him, his friend and former team manager Johan Bruyneel, three medical doctors and a trainer. USADA alleged they were ''part of a doping conspiracy'' that used ''fear, intimidation and coercion" to keep it secret. Annstrong liked to recollllt how he trained harder and better than competitors he trollllced from 1999-2005 on French roads, famously saying in a commercial for one his sponsors, ''What am I on? fm on my bike, busting my ass, six hours a day." That isn't what USADA's letter says. ''Numerous riders, team persmmel and others will testify based on personal knowledge acquired either through observing Annstrong dope or through Annstrong's admissions of doping to them that Lance Armstrong used EPO, blood transfusions, testosterone and cortisone" - in other words, the cornucopia of banned pharmaceutical aids cheats need to give them the edge for cycling's three-week French showcase in July. With the millions he earned from the sport and the friends in high places he acquired with his unique personal story and his campaigning against cancer, Annstrong has money and clout to fight these allegations that, if proved and prosecuted, would pull apart his whole narrative and everything he has become. Inspiration no more, Annstrong would become the face for the era when cycling became a freak show, with riders whose veins bulged but who, strangely, didn't seem that exhausted after sprinting up a French Alp. Other clowns in this circus were race organizers who pedaled the myth that nothing too serious was amiss, the cycling bureaucrats who didn't act decisively until the rot was entrenched so deep that the sport's future was in danger. The absurdity of that era is such that ifArmstrong was, by some miracle, stripped of his Tour titles as a result of USADA gumshoes digging into the past, then who could you give them to? Jan Ullrich, the chunky German who finished runnerup to Annstrong three times? Excuse me while I choke on my schnitzel. Only this February, the 1997 Tour winner was exposed for involve-
ment in blood doping and banned for two years by the Comt ofArbitration for Spmt. Ivan Basso, the Italian who stood next to Armstrong when he delivered his farewell 2005 podium speech denollllcing the "cynics and the skeptics" who no longer believed in cycling, was also subsequently banned. So, too, was Alexander Vinokourov, third behind Annstrong and Ullrich in 2003. I could go on. But it's just too sad. Unlike his former teammates Tyler Hamilton and Floyd Landis, don't expect Annstrong to make a belated confession. Battling tooth and nail is more his style. He has much more wealth, prestige and admirers than Hamilton and Landis ever did, far too much to lose. Besides, he insists USADA's charges "are baseless, motivated by spite and advanced tlrrough testimony bought and paid for by promises of anonymity and immunity." "I have never doped, and, unlike many of my accusers, I have competed as an endurance athlete for 25 years with no spike in performance, passed more than 500 drug tests and never failed one," Annstrong said in a statement he flagged to his 3.5 million followers on Twitter. Armstrong is a smart guy. By definition, the smart dopers are those who don't get caught. Instead, they hire dirty doctors to provide them with dosages and timetables of what to take when so tlmir cheating doesn't show up in tests, and to help them dodge the radar of the expensive anti-doping program that cycling's governing body, the UCI, has operated since 2008. That so-called biological passport program works by monitoring riders' blood readings, flagging suspicious ones that could point to doping. The bio passport would have kept tabs on Armstrong, too, when he returned to cycling for the 2009 and 2010 Tours. USADA's letter says its evidence of doping includes data from blood samples the UCI took from Annstrong in both those years. Why drag up all this again now? Why spend taxpayer dollars to try to nail a rider from cycling's past? Short answer: Because determining the truth about Annstrong's past is vital to the well-being of cycling's present. Even retired, he remains one of the sport's most widely recognized names. If he was dirty, his name needs to be expllllged from the record books. If he was dirty, the cancer smvivors Iris sto1y inspires should be told he's a fraud. If he was dirty, kids need to know that cheats do get caught, even many years later. USADA's letter to Armstrong said "numerous" riders will testifY that team manager Bruyneel, Italian doctor Michele Ferrari and Spanish doctors Luis Garcia del Moral and Pedro Celaya pushed doping products and methods and worked to conceal rule-breaking. If they were dirty, they must be drummed out ofcycling so other riders can't be corrupted. IfAnnstrong and associates were dirty, we should be thankful that USADA is trying to do something about it because others who might haven't.
Simpson comes out of the fog for U.S. Open victory • Woods collapses on fmal day, while Simpson rallies SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Webb Simpson won the U.S. Open and put two more names into the graveyard of champions. Overlooked for so much of the week, Simpson emerged on a fog-filled Sllllday at The Olympic Club with four birdies arolllld the turn and a tough chip out of a hole to the right of the 18th green that he converted into par for a 2-llllder 68. He finished at 1-Dver 281, and it was enough to outlast former U.S. Open champions Jim Furyk and Graeme McDowell. Furyk bogeyed two of his last three holes. McDowell had a 25-foot birdie on the 18th to force a playoff; but it never had a chance. "Oh, wow," Simpson said, watching from the locker room.
Graveyard of champions Olympic is known as the "graveyard of champions" because proven major winners who were poised to win the U.S. Open have always lost to the llllderdog. One ofthose was Arnold Palmer in 1966, when he lost a seven-shot lead on the back nine. Perhaps it was only fitting that the 25-year-old Simpson went to Wake Forest on an Arnold Palmer scholarship. '%-nold has been so good to me," Simpson said. "Just the other day, I read that story and thought about it. "He's meant so much to me and Wake Forest. Hopefully,
•• •
I can get a little back for him and make him smile." No one was beaming like Simpson, who followed a breaktlrrough year on the PGA Tour with his first major. No one was more disgusted than Furyk, in control of the U.S. Open for so much of the final round lllltil he snaphooked his tee shot on the par-5 16th hole. The shot caused Furyk to fall out of the lead for the first time all day, and he was llllable to get it back. Needing a birdie on the final hole, he hit into the bllllker. He crouched and clamped his teeth onto the shaft ofhis wedge. Furyk made bogey on the final hole and closed with a 74, a final rolllld without a single birdie. McDowell, who made four bogeys on the front nine, at
least gave himself a chance with a 20-foot birdie putt on the 17th and a shot into the 18th that had him sprinting up the hill to see what kind of chance he had. The putt stayed left of the hole the entire way, and he had to settle for a 73. McDowell shared second place with Michael Thompson, who closed with a 67 and waited two hours to see if it would be good enough. Tiger Woods, starting five shots behind, played the first six holes in 6-over par and was never a factor. He shot 73. For two rollllds, Woods seemed to be in command in the U.S. Open. Then came a weekend of frustration that ran his winless streak in major championships to four years and raised even more questions about his ability to win the titles he used to take for granted.

Legends take founh in tournev • Legacy falls to Vallivue in
third-place game, 4-3 CALDWELL, Idaho- The Legacy Legends settled for a fowth-place finish at the Vallivue wood bat toumament this weekend. The Legends won their first two games ofthe tournament, but dropped two straight on Saturday and Sunday. Legacy faced off with host team Vallivue Sunday in the third-place game, but fe114-3. The Titans built up a 4-0 lead after getting on the board in the first inning. But the Legands rallied late, getting two runs in the sixth and another in the seventh, only to come up short. Seth Madsen was two for four with a triple, while Jake Chamberlain was one for four.
Mitch Workinger was saddled with the loss after coming in in reliefof starter Kaleb White. ''All in all we played well this weekend," coach Brian Chamberlain said "I'm proud with our pitching and defense, and that's what you gotta do at wood bat toumaments."
Legacy 10, Meridian 9 (8 innings) The Legends defeated the Meridian Rangers 10-9 in eight innings on Friday. The game was tied at nine in the bottom of the eighth inning when when Tyson Wicklander reached base for Legacy. Wicklander eventually made his way to third base and was able to score the winning run on a hit to second base by Logan Lankford, lifting the team to victory.
Jake Chamberlain had five RBis, including a two-run double and a tworun triple. Madsen was two for three, and Lankford was one for four. Workinger got tl1e win, allowing two hits and striking out one.
Barons 1, Legends 0 The Legends dropped a 1-0 contest to the Boise Barons on Saturday. Josh Gambill hit two batters in the first inning and the Barons took advantage, getting the only run of the game. Legacy had three runners picked off on the base paths, ruining scoring opportunities. Lankford, Chamberlain and Jordan Rogers all had hits for the Legends. Legacy hosts The Dalles Tuesday at 1 p.m. for a doubleheader.
Smoak's single smokes San Francisco • Ninth-inning walk-off lifts Mariners past Giants, 2-1 SEATTLE (AP) - Justin Smoak veered onto the outfield grass after touching second, and began to sprint. A mob ofteammates were after him, ¥.ith a distinct speed advantage over the lumbering Smoak. "Think it's the fastest I've ran all year," Smoak said. Smoak was on the move to avoid a celebratory pUillllleling after his one-out single in the bottom ofthe ninth scored pinch-runner Munenori Kawasaki from second, when the throw home hit Kawasaki in the back, giving the Mariners a 2-1 win over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday in front of 40,603, the secondlargest crowd of the season. Mariners closer Tom Wilhelmsen took over in the ninth and found trouble before Smoak's hit. Wilhelmsen walked Pablo Sandoval on four pitches to load the bases with one out, bringing the National League's leading hitter coming into Sunday, Melky Cabrera, to the plate. Wilhelmsen struck him out on tln·ee pitches after a four-pitch walk to the previous batter.
Willielmsen's explanation for his success against Cabrera was succinct. "He missed them," Wilhelmsen said. Wilhehnsen (3-1) then got pinchhitter Nate Schierholtz to ground out to second to end his most pressure-ffiled outing since recording his first career save June 5. "Holy cow,"Wilhelmsen said. "Got pretty intense there for a little but, huh?" That allowed the opportunity for Smoak. San Francisco reliever Sergio Ramo (2-1) gave up back-to-back singles to Kyle Seager and Jesus Montero to open the ninth before being replaced by Javier Lopez. After pinch-hitter Michael Saunders failed to bunt the runners over, Smoak lined the gan1e-winning single to left. A tense ninth inning finally settled what starters Madison Bumgarner and Felix Hemandez could not. Each were dominant. Bumgarner allowed just three hits in his eight innings. He struck out four and walked one, retiring 18 consecutive batters at one point. Hemandez threw seven innings, allowed one run, struck out seven and
walked one. He had been struggling. He tinkered with his mound stance during his bullpen work earlier in the week, trying to find a remedy for his recent woes. Hemandez's ERA was 6.36 over his previous six starts, during which he was 1-4. Sunday started with a surprise for him. His wife, Sandra, ordered a banner to be flown behind a plane around the park that read, "King 34 you are the best dad ever. We (love) you." It took three teammates to break his routine and convince Hemandez to step out to the dugout early, so he oould see the surprise. "I almost cried," Hemandez said. "I was not going to cry because those guys are here. They're going to talk bad about me. Don't do it. Don't do it. Be tough. That was really amazing." Yet, a bumpy first ensued. Hemandez escaped the first allowing just one run, despite three hits and a walk. Sandoval, Cabrera and Angel Pagan singled. Pagan's hit landed just on the outfield grass to score Sandoval. Hector Sanchez flew out to center with the bases loaded to end the inning on Hemandez's 30th pitch.

Yankees complete sweep of Nats, 4-1 WASHINGTON (AP) -Despite losing three games to the New York Yankees in his team's highest-proffie test this season, Davey Johnson felt good about the Washington Nationals' performance. One thing, however, was nagging him after the Yankees completed their sweep with a 4-1 win Sunday - the offensive struggles of third baseman Ryan Zimmerman. Zimmerman went 0 for 4 in the game and 1 for 13 in the series to drop his average to .229. His only hit came in his first at-bat on Friday and he is now 4 for 33 in his last eight games.
Angels 2, D-Backs 0 ANAHEIM, Calif (AP) - After a quiet weekend at Angel Stadium, the Arizona Diamondbacks headed back to Phoenix hoping to snap out of a slump that not even Ian Kennedy could overcome. Garrett Richards pitched four-hit ball into the ninth inning against the punchless Diamondbacks, combining with Emesto Frieri on the Los Angeles Angels' 2-0 win Sunday and Ariwna's third shutout loss in five games. The Diamondbacks totaled five hits in consecutive shutout losses in Anaheim, starting with Ervin Santana's one-hitter on Saturday. Arizona hasn't scored in 21 straight innings, finishing a 2-4 road trip
with another disappointment that left the clubhouse awfully somber.
Rangers 9, Astros 2 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)- The Texas Rangers are getting used to the consistently good starts Colby Lewis has been giving them lately. Lewis gave up three hits and walked one while striking out 10 in seven innings, Ian Kinsler had a three-run triple and Adrian Beltre hit a tworun homer in a seven-run sixth inning, and the Rangers beat the Houston Astros 9-3 on Sunday. Lewis (6-5), who won his second straight outing, has a 2.25 ERA while going 3-2 over his last six starts. He kept the Rangers in the game when the team couldn't take advantage of opportunities in earlier innings against Astros rookie pitcher Dallas Keuchel, who was making his major-league debut. Padres 2, Athletics 1 OAKLAND, Calif (AP) - Clayton Richard did a nice job using Iris off-speed pitches to keep the Oakland hitters guessing. His fastball was even better. The left-bander baffled the Athletics most of the aftemoon, pitching into the eighth inning for his second consecutive win to help the San Diego Padres beat Oakland 2-1 on Sunday and avoid a three-game sweep.
